This is my attempt at the table from the old Mego Fortress of Solitude playset. I didn't have the actual dimensions of the original table. If anyone does have the table, would love to know what the dimensions are. I made this going by pictures of the table. And using some of the Pocket Heroes I have to get a idea on the size.

The first assortment was released in the retail market, but the other three were...
